Our next game. After the debacle against Atromitos we need to rebound and get a convincing win.

- win with a 4 goal diffrence (or result such as 5:2, 6:3) secures 7th place in the standings and our opponent in the play-off round will be Kifisia at home. If we beat Kifisia we will most likely play Levadeiakos away in the quarterfinal

- win with a 2 goal difference will place us in 8th place and we will play Atromitos in a home game in the play-off round. If we beat Atromitos (big if) we will most likely face Olympiakos in an away quarterfinal game

Looks like Lucescu is aware of our goal to win with a 4 goal margin.

I do not think the players see the urge of scoring 4 as soon as possible. First 12 minutes are mehhh.

[pash]

Nice recovery by Konstantelias to poach a goal

[Dutch Eagle]

Goal and 1-0. Konstantelias in the rebound.

[Dutch Eagle]

Mythou forcing the keeper to make the "mistake" and Delias takes advantage of it.

[Dutch Eagle]

2-0 Mythou

[pash]

Goal # 2's a nice one, and Mythou gets his second as a big boy

[Dutch Eagle]

That is what a CF does, Fyodor!

[Dutch Eagle]

3-0 Konstantelias. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Thymianis

[Dutch Eagle]

We begin the second half in a lousy way. Tsiftsis had to come to the rescue.

[Blackhawk]

Yes we are playing very sloppy in the 2nd half. We need to score that 4th goal ASAP.

[Dutch Eagle]

Taison and Camara the first subs. Konstantelias and Ozdoyev subbed out.

[Dutch Eagle]

Stupid yellow Bianco.

[Dutch Eagle]

Mythou just wide.

[Dutch Eagle]

Chalov coming in for Ivanusec now.

[Dutch Eagle]

15 minutes left for that fourth one.

[Dutch Eagle]

Oh no. There is a goal but the 3-1. Tsiftsis touvlo .......

[Dutch Eagle]

And Despodov missing a sitter.... 

[Blackhawk]

Unbelievable. We had so many chances to score that 4th one. Bad move taking out Konstantelias.

[Dutch Eagle]

4-1 Camara.
